The Big Bang Theory (CBS, 8 p.m.) — Bob Newhart guest stars as a TV show host in tonight’s episode. The way Newhart speaks is a lot like trying explain why The Big Bang Theory is so popular. “Well, you see…the thing about that is…it’s sort of like…you have to, uh, remember…things are different…Got it?”

The Office (NBC, 8:30 p.m.) — It’s a special hour-long episode, and while that might sound like a challenge, not a treat, please note that Andy apparently departs Dunder-Mifflin. Two seasons too late, but we’ll take it, especially if guest star Michael Imperioli, of Sopranos fame, is involved. *winks* *snorts cocaine* *sits on dog*

Yeah they seem to be keeping the character under wraps for some reason. Lots of suggestions that he might be feeding human to his FBI homies. At some point they need to spend more time on him than Lawrence Fishbourne’s character

Yeah I gather that they’ll unleash him half way through the season. Or there will be a moment where that one bitch (not cancer chick, the chick that found the hair in the pillow) sees him cooking human or killing someone before or on the season finale.

Well last night they gave the book’s revelation of Hannibal to Laurence Fishbourne’s first underling. So this will be interesting As it will not end in the events leading to Red Dragon etc. By far a better show than the dumb “Following”

I thought tonight’s episode of Parks and Recreation was fun, and I’m definitely going to miss it! As I was leaving my office at DISH today, one of my coworkers bet me lunch that April would be pregnant, so tomorrow should be interesting. I’m really hoping that Parks and Rec is renewed sometime soon, but in the meantime, at least I have my DVR recordings of this season. I have them all saved on my DISH Hopper which can hold up to 1,250 SD or 450 HD hours of whatever I record. With this much recording space, I can keep saving full seasons of all my favorite shows, and I won’t have to delete anything.

I remember reading a shitty comment made by a probable ad-bot recently, and I immediately seized upon the opportunity to berate and debase him on my brand new shiny Corsair k90 keyboard. It’s luxurious cherry mx key mechanics remind me of the good old days when I was a kid and my older brother would clack away on his IBM keyboard providing me just enough background noise to masturbate without detection.

After a long day of wading through a sea of terrible internet comments, it feels nice to come home to a glowing blue keyboard. But also, sticking it to anonymous dicks on the internet.

Hannibal is some sick shit, yo. I love that they’re keeping Hannibal’s character a mystery and telling his story through other characters. That’s not a way I’ve seen a movie or TV show describe a villain (or is Hannjbal the hero? Seeing him strangle Miriam made him pretty villainy) in some time.

It’s deranged but not deranged like Criminal Minds, which is deranged for the sake of being deranged. The grotesque element tells a story, it’s dark and gives the viewer a real sense of discomfort. Every episode is genuinely foreboding, the dark elements of the show are well done and feel like an element of the story.

It’s darker than most shows on TV but never feels like snuff. They’re trying to give you an insight into the understudy’s life. The production really immerses you in a bleak world with interesting characters.

It’s also smart and there’s a lot of “hidden messages” in the show. The understudy’s moose in his dreams, the conversations between Hannibal and Jack lead the viewer on. They let the viewer know things without treating them like idiots. Showing Hannibal kill Miriam was a bit much, but otherwise the viewer isn’t explicitly told what’s happening.

I’m pretty happy with this show so far. It’s NBC so the producers have no clue how long they have or whether or not they’ll have to drag out a storyline but I’m hooked. No it’s not Justified, Breaking Bad, or GoT but its a different animal than those other shows. For that, I like it. They’re doing something else and I respect it.

I think he incapacitated her rather than killed her. Either way, her immediate future prospects were bleak.

Regarding the story; I was wondering what made the Chesapeake Ripper/Lecter target his victim for the “Wound Man” kill. Miriam is led to Lecter because he had been on call at the hospital the night the victim had been treated for a wound suffered whilst hunting. Was it simply because it was an arrow wound to the thigh like in the drawing? And why in the ensuing two years that followed Miriam’s disappearance did neither Crawford or any other FBI agent follow up her line of enquiry? She’s missing presumed dead so she got close for fuck’s sake.

Also, would it be inappropriate to ask for a gif of the eye-gouging scene?

Charlie – They did follow up but missed her connection. Laurence said that every Physician and Surgeon the victims visited were vetted thoroughly… However, Hannibal was working the ER when the guy came in with the arrow wound. So Miriam was checking up on all the ER doctors listed.
